What's up with that, Rudy?

Stupid is as stupid does (translation: trump hired past his sell-date, Ghouliani).

Rudy Giuliani: Michael Cohen Has Been Warned To Keep His Mouth Shut

Cohen is in ‘grave danger of being disbarred’ for violating attorney client privilege, says Trump’s lawyer.
By Mary Papenfuss

Donald Trump’s legal team has warned his former fixer Michael Cohen to stop speaking out and violating lawyer client confidentiality, the president’s attorney Rudy Giuliani told ABC News Saturday. The warning comes just six days days after the team waived lawyer client privilege concerning a recorded conversation between Cohen and his former boss about a former Playboy model.

“We have complained” to Cohen’s lawyers that “he’s violated the attorney-client privilege, publicly and privately,” Giuliani told the network. Giuliani said Cohen is in “grave danger of being disbarred.”

But Cohen’s attorney Lanny Davis told Huffpost in a statement that Giuliani “seems to be confused.”

He “expressly waived attorney client privilege last week and repeatedly and inaccurately — as proven by the tape — talked and talked about the recording, forfeiting all confidentiality,” Davis added.

Seems that Giuliani is the one that should go up for censure......

We could probably retire to Hawaii on what he's making blabbing his mouth on TV.....

I was just gigging you for allowing that inference to be drawn by the way you phrased your question.

a lawyer is required to report a crime to authorities or be a co-conspirator and lose your license (could go to jail also)
never confess to your lawyer... bad move dumpy
